Hi all,

in order to define the characteristics of a non-transparent material I would like to be able to define the scatter parameters of the material as a variable in the Volume Physics (see image) tab and apply a merit function using characteristics known and tested in the laboratory.
Is this possible?

Thanks to all

Hi Luca,

 

I believe this is possible through the Multi-Configuration Editor using the operands NPRO with the property numbers 481 (mean free path) and 482 (angle). In the Merit Function Editor, you can view and weight the Multi-Configuration operands with MCOV (Multi-Configuration Operand Value), MCOL (Multi-Configuration Operand Lesser than), or MCOG (Multi-Configuration Operand Greater than). I’m showing a dummy example below with MCOV:

Please refer to this article for more details about this trick.

Let me know if this helps, and take care,

 

David
